Popular MA Eatery To Open Second Location

BOSTON, MA — A popular Burlington eatery announced its opening of a second location in South Boston.

Common Craft will open at the base of the South Standard apartments building, at 85 Damrell St. The restaurant, led by culinary director and 2019 James Beard Award winner Tony Messina, is slated to open in mid-March.

The restaurant was founded by Larry Leibowitz in Burlington in 2022. The location serves as a multi-room drinking and dining spot at the Burlington Mall.

Restaurant owners said the South Boston location will be a little different. Rather than a beverage-forward concept, Common Craft South Boston will spotlight dining with table service and ingredients.

The Boston location will also feature The Current, which is a culinary rotation that highlights new people, products and ideas, with new menus and events.

Still, Common Craft is just the latest restaurant to announce its opening in South Boston.

A Cambridge-favorite, Si Cara opened its doors on West Broadway in December. The eatery serves a range of Italian-inspired appetizers and pizzas.

Another eatery, Dalia, a Spanish restaurant, is coming to the neighborhood, according to Boston Restaurant Talk. It is owned by the Broadway Restaurant Group, which is behind other Southie spots, like Lincoln Tavern & Restaurant and Capo Restaurant & Supper Club.
